All events are on Sunday, May 28th at 19 Main Street, New Milford, CT. Seniors, please contact Theresa about purchasing a cap and gown! Parents, if you would like to volunteer to assist with any of these events, we will put the time towards your work hours in advance of May 1st in anticipation of your assitance. Please email me with the times you are able to help. This is a big day and many hands make both lite work and a wonderful day for the kids! https://19main.com/
For an idea of what to expect, check out the photos below. It is a great time and all done in one day! Please be in touch with any questions.
These times are the definitive list. If any adjustments are necessary, those will be posted here. We have pushed things back a touch to make sure we have enough time to set up for the event, as the venue is available for us to set up slightly later than in years past.

Dance/Formal/Prom FYI - the Formal/Prom/Dance is on! If you got a notice that it was cancelled, this is because we removed all of the parents from the Google calendar, except for the chaperones. We did not want parents to think they were scheduled to be there who were not chaperones. Those annoying notices go out automatically from Google, even when we have notifications turned off. Our apologies for any confusion!
Our chaperones are: Ben Moran, Lisa Temple, and Mary Parascondola. We ask all other parents to enjoy an evening out. There are so many great things to do in downtown New Milford, if your preference is to stay close, but please do not plan on hanging out at 19 Main with your child(ren).
Parents who are helping out:
There are no fees for EWoW students for this event, but we do need your help! Finger food and clean up after the event are both very welcome!
Food can be dropped off any time during the day until 7 pm. There are refrigerators on site, so early is fine even for items that require chilling. There is no way to heat food, though, so nothing hot please.
Set Up is 5:30 pm - 6:30 pm for those of you assisting with prep.
Drop off for students is 7 pm and pick up is 10 pm.
Students are welcome to keep their formalwear at 65 Bridge, if they would prefer to change there after the Gala.
If you have any questions, please ask me or Lindsey or Mary. We are here to help!
Thank you!!
Notes:
Colors are Royal Blue, Silver & White for these events.
